Looks iincreasingly likely that work commitments have put paid to any plans to get Stateside for any gigs this time around. Just have to keep fingers crossed for a European leg announcement for Spring 2016.

If this really is their last long-haul shout, I'm sure they'll come to Europe one last time, just not this year.

I'd rather play the waiting game and see the band over here at full strength on their touring terms, rather than the band trying to cram in Euro dates before the end of the year but being too knackered to do them justice.

“It’s clear we are at a point in our career that we have to slow down, and slow down dramatically. I’m not a guy who’s in love with the farewell tour idea – but it’s clear this is going to be the last big tour we’re going to do, for a while anyway.”

They need to come out and be honest with their fans and tell it how it is. If they have no intention of the tour coming to Europe then they need to say so, that way people can make informed decisions. It's very unfair of them to make us all keep second guessing and having to read between the lines, the fans deserve better than that.
